Ballad of Homeland Security
When the lofty shinning towers fell
Death’s cold hand did silence Wall Street’s bell
Covered in ashes they rushed to fight that hell lit flame
Firemen, police, medics, lawyers, doctors all heard freedom’s call and came
In that choking blackness of that hallowed day
Came a new beginning some would say
Out with the old and in the with the new
Bureaucracies in the midst of turmoil did fail and stew
Many voices clamored in that awful din
While arguments over rights and security soon set in
In the people’s house leaders did rise and fall
But in the end justice and reason did answer freedom’s call
From the sun-baked border and small offices on the Potomac’s shore
Would go the call for America’s best to repair the fabric the terrorists tore
Hard fought fights to shape and organization soon set in
Most did not comprehend the nature of the battle they were about to begin
Personal sacrifice and lonely duty far from home would victory entail
But in the end freedom’s children over hell’s minions did prevail
Never again would ashes rain from the sky
Causing the blameless innocent to weep and cry
So for this did we pledge our lives, so freedom will never die
Ed Driscoll's blog on PJ Media gave us an outline I've saved for future rereads (translation: laughs). Last night, from a Queens pizzeria, Anthony Weiner conceded defeat in the race for New York City mayor. It's sad that he was even allowed to run again in the first place. He obviously cared more about his sordid personal life than he ever cared about his position in public service.
Let this be a (humorous) lesson to us. Anthony Weiner: a track record so bad, even New York voters couldn't ignore it.
There is a lot of controversy surrounding the First Amendment, especially the "Religious" clause. Some seek to silence religion and use the fictitious claim of "Separation of Church and State clause". There is no such thing. America has had this shoved down our throats for so long the majority actually believes this now. The First Amendment clearly states, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.. as in no State sanctioned church, or one over the other; and shall not prohibit the free exercise thereof. The free exercise of any religion, on any corner, at any time, at any place. Government cannot tell you where or how to express your religion or religious views. The Constitution provides protection for those who do not practice religion or religious beliefs as much as it provides protection for those who do practice their religious beliefs. The Constitution does not infringe on either side but protects the rights of both. It does not give either one the right to silence the other. Therefore the freedom of speech was protected as well in that same Amendment. There is no such animal as "Separation of Church and State", that was taken totally out of context from a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote in response to the concerns of the Danbury Baptist Convention. They were concerned that the religious clause was even in the Constitution giving the Government the power to give that right, the Government could also take it away. Jefferson just simply said this was a restriction to keep Government from infringing that right. Thereby erecting a wall between Church and State.
Obama is a ...... He needs to forgo his strike and realize we are not the world's police or we are dictators ourselves. He needs to work with Russia's President and peace can be achieved. What part of WE CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER WAR does he not understand? He loved saying he's commander and chief. He is so full of himself. We had our own revolutionary war and we won. Yes that was over 200 years... ago, but who helped us??!!!! We did!!!! If you don't like it overthrow it. You can do anything you put your mind and heart to. Loss is expected, but it will be a loss worth fighting for just like we did when we established this country. Our Civil War was fought by us. Syrians didn't come to fight for the North. If they as citizens rise and keep rising, they will prevail. If we bail everyone out, we will not be able to help our own people or wait we can't help our people now. We have so much crap wrong it's not even funny. Social Security, Welfare, Child Abuse, Homeless Vets, Poverty, Unemployment, Healthcare, Stupid Politicians, and that's just to name a few. Mr. Obama, when you can save your own country or wait I mean the U.S.A. then feel free to police the world; until then use your foreign policy experience to keep Illinois and Wisconsin from going to war over cheese or the Bears vs. Packers because that is the extent of your foreign policy experience.
Sincerely,
One Proud American.
P.S. Nothing in this world is worth anything unless you are willing to fight for it. We need to fight our home battles 1st because America is worth fighting to keep alive.
September 11, 2001, I was annoyed at my wife, Mary. I was about to take a shower, yelling from the bathroom, “Honey, there is no water!” She had forgotten to pay the bill. In the small Florida town where we live, I would have to get dressed and drive two miles to the water company. Then, wait for the leisurely paced workers to get around to turning my water back on. How annoying. What a pain. That was the biggest issue of my day that morning.
As the nightmare of 9/11 unfolded, several of my fellow Americans who simply showed up for work were faced with a horrific decision; whether to be consumed in the inferno or jump to their deaths from the towers. Many became “the jumpers”. Who was responsible for putting my fellow Americans in such an unimaginable horrific position? Al Qaeda.
That same day, American Todd Beamer on board flight UA93 thought to call his wife Lisa, but did not want to worry her. He called GTE supervisor Lisa Jefferson to say that their plane had been hijacked. Beamer lead passengers in voting to storm the cockpit and take over the plane. Beamer instructed Jefferson, "If I don't make it, please call my family and let them know how much I love them." Jefferson heard Beamer's voice, "Are you ready? Okay. Let's roll!" Flight UA93 crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Who were the hijackers? Al Qaeda.
September 11, 2012, U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, Information Officer Sean Smith, and embassy security personnel, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were killed during an attack on our consulate in Benghazi while expecting help that never arrived. Who were the attackers. Al Qaeda.
Ironically, as we approach another anniversary of the 9/11 attack, Obama and Secretary Kerry are arguing that the U.S is morally obligated to bomb the Assad regime for allegedly gassing Al Qaeda which is responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent Americans.
To put this crazy scenario into perspective, imagine the KKK and the Aryan Nation fighting each other. The KKK gases the Aryan Nation. The NAACP joins the Aryan Nation in attacking the KKK for using an immoral weapon.
Obama and Kerry claim their desire to bomb Syria is about Assad gassing a few hundred children and national security. America must not be perceived as a paper tiger.
Well, why were both these guys vehemently opposed to President Bush attacking Saddam Hussein who on a single day gassed 5,000 of his own people? Over a few decades, Saddam used various gasses to kill 50,000 of his own people. Saddam used poison gas against his own people 50 times more than Assad.
As for Kerry and Obama claiming that we can not risk America being perceived as a paper tiger, I say, “too late”. The 2001 September 11th attack was the result of past wimpy responses to terrorism by a Democrat president. Obama has merely continued the Democrat's weak blame-America-first tradition. Before unpacking his bags upon his arrival in the White House, Obama went on his world apologize-for-America-tour.
What has been our paper tiger president's forceful response to terrorism? Pretend it does not exist.
President Obama's relentless efforts to protect his false narrative that Al Qaeda is on the run continues to have devastating consequences for Americans. The Fort Hood shooting was a Jihadist mass murder; unquestionably proven to be a terrorist attack. Coldly, the Obama Administration stands firm in classifying it as “work place violence” which denies the victims combat benefits. Also, while in prison, Nidal Hasan, the shooter received $270,000 from the U.S. Government while his victims had to pay their own medical bills.
Despite knowing almost immediately that it was Al Qaeda who attacked our consulate in Benghazi, killed Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans, for weeks, the Obama Administration promoted the lie that the attackers were a spontaneous mob angry over a youtube view.
Finally, after 11 months the Obama Administration has charged the first suspects in connection with the Benghazi terror attack.
Learning how to build a bomb in an Al Qaeda magazine, Dzhohar Tsarnaev expressed his extremist Islamist beliefs by killing 8 year old Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell and Lu Lingzi; injuring over 260, at least 16 suffered severed limbs. And yet, the Obama Administration rushed to Mirandize Dzhokhar, the surviving Boston bomber.
Secretary Kerry's holier-than-thou concern for Syrians and hostile comment to Rep. Duncan was a bit much to stomach given the Obama Administration’s pattern of putting justice and compassion for suffering Americans last. “We’re talking about people being killed by gas and you want to go talk about Benghazi and Fast and Furious.”
Remarkably, Kerry has even opened the door to possible deployment of U.S. troops to Syria. Can you imagine our air force and troops providing military might for Al Qaeda?
How do you explain that to the families of the 9/11 jumpers, other victims of 9/11, the Ft Hood shooting victims, the Boston Marathon bomb victims and the four Americans killed in Benghazi, all devastated by extremist Islamist terrorists, Al Qaeda?

Government of the people, by the people and for the people is perishing from the earth. We have proven to be incapable of restraining the monster we created. We have ignored the Constitution which was the only thing that could have accomplished that restraint and now we are stuck with a Federal Government whose enemies list includes you and me.
Now we see why the President was to be a natural born citizen and what happens when you allow the protections put in place by the founders to be eroded - carried away a bit at a time by jackals and thieves - until today we find ourselves fighting for the soul of our country.
The symptoms of the problem are legion, turning up as brush fires like those in today's headlines that distract our attention but the cause and the cure are one in the same. None of us will be secure in our lives, freedom or property until we return to the only form of government that has ever produced the prosperity we have enjoyed in this country.
We all know instinctively that there is no free lunch yet many gladly accept handouts from our elected officials without ever asking the cost. The cost is your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. If you think these statements harsh, may I remind you that on 9-11 this year, during the anniversary of an attack perpetrated by Muslim Jihadists that killed almost 3,000 people in New York, the government issued a permit for a Million Muslim March in Washington D.C. while at the same time refusing a permit for a patriotic Million Bikers event. The Bikers plan to go anyway. We shall see how these two very different groups are treated by our government. My heart goes with the bikers.
Our attention must remain concentrated on the re-establishment of constitutional government. Elected officials who will not honor their oath of office must be exposed and replaced one by one. There is no other answer!
MYOB
It is the wee hours in this small hick town nestled in the heart of Appalachia. The streets are empty, save for the occasional police car making its rounds and a semi trundling by every hour or so. As I sit hear in the quiet of my lonely apartment I found myself thinking of the mess this country is in with all of the incursions on our freedoms of late. I was trying to think of some way the common people could assert their independence in a sane legal manner when I thought of a story written way back in 1951 by a Science Fiction writer named Eric Frank Russell entitled … And Then There Were None. I think I might have given it the title The Gands though nobody asked my opinion then or since.
This Hall of Fame story concerns the difficulty the people of Earth have in contacting the ‘leaders’ of a planet the had been settled by humans three hundred years before, but out of contact with that species known far and wide as Earthers since that time.
You see the home planet had come to bring these poor benighted souls all of the advantages of modern Earth society. They were from the government and just wanted to help. Those bureaucrats had only one problem with their efforts in contacting those so called leaders. Whomever they approached to ask to be taken to those leaders received the cryptic response “MYOB” and the locals just went on with whatever they were doing. It didn’t matter who they sent as their envoys – Peacockishly attired military or somewhat less splendiferous ships crew or even nattily attired minor diplomats- each and every one was met with MYOB.
Finally an exasperated Ambassador sent one of the ships crew, a fellow with a bicycle of all things, as his emissary. This fellow was a bit more curious and friendly sort who wanted to get to know these strange off spring of mother Earth, so he began by just attempting to engage them in conversation. After a lot of confusion caused by some evolutionary language difficulties, he did have some interesting talks. He learned that these people weren’t the least bit intimidated by the huge ship that had plowed a mile long trench upon landing outside their town. You see they had developed what they called the perfect weapon to ward off intrusive outsiders. It had developed out of their love of freedom, but it was an extremely effective weapon none-the-less.
When the ship’s engineering crewman asked about it he was given a little plaque upon which was inscribed F - I.W. and told that it contained the entire secret of this magnificent weapon. He was even informed that the weapon had been discovered on Earth many centuries before the great diaspora. By a humble man named Gandhi. He also learned that the MYOB they kept hearing was an acronym for Mind Your Own Business. The placard’s meaning? Freedom – I Won’t. You see Gandhi was a man from the then country of India who believed in peaceful civil disobedience. His disobedience took the form of him simply saying “I Won’t” to those intrusive bureaucrats that thought they had the right to infringe on his liberties.
The government says register your guns? I Won’t. The government says you must use their insurance? I won’t. The government says you must permit them to spy on you “for you own good”? I won’t.
The name they gave their planet? Gand and the people were the Gands.
I pledge defiance to the current government of the United States of America and to the corruption for which it stands one American with anger enough for all!

I received this forwarded email today(below picture). How, in any way can we allow ObamaCare to kill American Jobs?
I read Randall Babish's blog from 9/8 entitled "Does The Constitution Provide For Overt Discrimination Against Christians And Jews and Bias Toward Muslims?"
In his blog he suggests that in the language of ObamaCare, it exempts Muslims from having to participate. If true, that is religious bias. Yet, God lovin' Hobby Lobby may be forced to close because of their beliefs.
We must defund ObamaCare no matter the government shut down consequences. It is bad for the country.
Hobby Lobby May Close.

By David Green, the founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.
When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working
out of a garage on a $600 bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames..
Our first retail store wasn't much bigger than most people's living rooms,
but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to
God's word.
From there, Hobby Lobby has become one of the nation's largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500 locations in 41 states. Our children grew up into fine business leaders, and today we run Hobby Lobby together, as a family.
We're Christians, and we run our business on Christian principles. I've
always said that the first two goals of our business are (1) to run our
business in harmony with God's laws, and (2) to focus on people more than
money. And that's what we've tried to do. We close early so our employees
can see their families at night. We keep our stores closed on Sundays, one
of the week's biggest shopping days, so that our workers and their families
can enjoy a day of rest.
We believe that it is by God's grace that Hobby Lobby has endured, and
he has blessed us and our employees. We've not only added jobs in a weak
economy, we've raised wages for the past four years in a row. Our full-time
employees start at 80% above minimum wage.
But now, our government threatens to change all of that.
A new government healthcare mandate says that our family business MUST
provide what I believe are abortion-causing drugs as part of our health
insurance. Being Christians, we don't pay for drugs that might cause
abortions, which means that we don't cover emergency contraception, the
morning-after pill or the week-after pill. We believe doing so might end a
life after the moment of conception, something that is contrary to our most
important beliefs.
It goes against the Biblical principles on which we have run this
company since day one.
If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million PER DAY in government
fines.
Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy.
Our government threatens to fine a company that's raised wages four
years running.
Our government threatens to fine a family for running its business
according to its beliefs. It's not right. I know people will say we ought to
follow the rules; that it's the same for everybody. But that's not true.
The government has exempted thousands of companies from this mandate,
for reasons of convenience or cost. But it won't exempt them for reasons of
religious belief.
So, Hobby Lobby and my family are forced to make a choice. With great
reluctance, we filed a lawsuit today, represented by the Becket Fund for
Religious Liberty, asking a federal court to stop this mandate before it
hurts our business. We don't like to go running into court, but we no longer
have a choice. We believe people are more important than the bottom line and
that honoring God is more important than turning a profit.
My family has lived the American dream. We want to continue growing our
company and providing great jobs for thousands of employees, but the
government is going to make that much more difficult.
The government is forcing us to choose between following our faith and
following the law. I say that's a choice no American and no American
business should have to make.
The government cannot force you to follow laws that go against your
fundamental religious belief. They have exempted thousands of companies but
will not except Christian organizations including the Catholic church.
Since you will not see this in the liberal media, please pass this on to
all your contacts.
Sincerely,
David Green
CEO and Founder of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

Protesters Rally against Obama Syrian Military Strike
The red line in the sand was drawn by President Obama in August of 2012, and it was at that point he committed America to a rendezvous with war in Syria. The president only managed to respond publically in the hopes that the mainstream media and the liberals in the nation would view his tepid response as being presidential.
The president said this nearly as flippantly as he has commented on other pressing domestic or foreign issues, in the hope that his obedient mainstream media would ignore it and move on to shoring up his then re-election bid against challenger Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Since then, the president’s red line has moved with each international focus on the Syrian civil war conflict. In each event, Obama has kicked the can down the road. Several times this year when it was clear that according to international chemical weapon experts the deadly weapons of mass destruction were used, Obama feigned responsibility. This was not a failure to act, but a failure to lead.
Meanwhile, during his absence on the international stage as America’s Commander in Chief, he looked the other way as 100,000 plus Syrians died in the conflict. He first spoke about regime change in 2011, during the Syrian street demonstrations, but did little else, but played golf and found new and innovative ways to circumvent the U.S. Constitution.
Now, with the world watching Obama could not kick the can down the road because videos surfaced showing 1,400 Syrian victims of Sarin of a gas attack. The horror of seeing women and children murdered by yet unproven rebel or government officials had to move Obama to unavoidable action. Now in front of the entire nation and the world he had to accept responsibility for his own August 2012 words which have come back to haunt him.
Yet, he even managed to dither back and forth about what he said and what he meant. In each incarnation of Obama’s remembrance of how he would punish Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, he somehow could not make up his mind about sending Assad a well telegraphed love tap of missiles to keep him in line, while the Syrian president moved all of his military assets and chemical stockpiles.
While Obama could not determine which account of the red line he would erase next, country after country, including Britain have decided he had not made the case for war. In fact, according to the Washington Post they found 208 solid no votes against Obama's war resolution. Even as late as Sunday afternoon, ABC News has the House members leaning heavily in favor of voting the Syrian military use resolution down to defeat.
If we invade Syria we will have touched off the beginning of WWIII.
Going into Syria will result in a terrible spread of war throughout the middle east and will lead to the beginning of World War III where many nations will be totally destroyed. What is the point! World War III will make WWII look like a tea party. Look at this logically. 100,000 people were killed in Syria by bullets, bombs and who knows what else. 1500 were killed by gas. What vehicle of warfare killed more people? When your dead your dead and it doesn't matter whether you were shot, poisoned or hit with a rock. Are they using oil as an excuse to get involved? We go in and kill many, many, many, many more. We get rid of the dictator and the radical Islamists replace him. Where are we then? NOWHERE! How has it served our interests? It has not, but it will spread like wildfire resulting in WWIII on or about 2017 or sooner. Millions more will be killed and for what? If it is about oil lets go full speed ahead in developing our own energy independence: oil fracking, natural gas, ocean currents, wind, solar, thorium reactors, geothermal, nuclear, coal, bio. With all the money we spent in protecting "our interests" in the middle east we could have developed every one of these energy forms and then some already. We have enough Thorium to provide energy for the entire world for 500 years as does India and other countries. Who is kidding whom? This involvement in the middle east is a spiritual battle and was planned and designed by Satan himself. It is nothing but pure evil. We are being sucked in by the devil himself.
I get irritated when people come down on our police officers, saying that
they don't care about or respect others.
Well, here is a story that clearly shows not all cops are in that category.
This story involves the police department in the small hill country town of
Fredericksburg, TX who reported finding a man's body last Saturday, in the
early evening, in the Pedernales River near the state highway-87 bridge.
The dead man's name would not be released until his family had been
notified.
The victim apparently drowned due to excessive beer consumption while
visiting "someone" in Kerrville. He was wearing black fishnet stockings, 4
inch spiked heels, a red garter belt, a pink G-string, purple lipstick,
dazzle dust on his eyelids, 2 1/2 inch false eyelashes and an Obama
T-shirt.
The police removed the Obama T-shirt to spare his family any unnecessary
embarrassment.
See there, Texas Police do care!
